Of course, but explaining spectrometry is not as simple for these people to grasp as showing a picture of water shooting out of a hole on the surface of an asteroid with an atmosphere.

Can you give me an observable evidence that Evolution is true?

And, at my age, I feel like most of it has passed through my kidneys.

Some of us have already asked him in what areas of biology he has done his research in.
He has been very silent about what he is doing, so I get the feeling that he is really not a "researcher" at all. He is probably not even a "biologist", because of his silent evasion.
So I don't think anyone will give him much credulity to whatever he say in the matter of biology.
Is that at all a fact, much less a well known one?
What is this evolutionary progressive linearity you speak of? I don't think it exists in the ToE.
Morality began to develop along with the awareness of social groups. It seems to exist in many other animals as well.

You do know that evolution is BIOLOGY, don't you?
So what does morality have to do with biology?
You are like comparing a lemon to a car, or to a doorknob.

it has nothing to do with it.. afterall it is only a "theory" (which is likely true)
Evolution can exist in this theistic world, one thing puzzles me though...
being that there are primates on the planet (whose evolutionary tree we can observe via fossil record) then why today do we not have half primate half man walking around?
what is also extremely puzzling is the Neanderthal's are not humans and the Cromagnon seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
I probably shouldn't even get started with Piltdown Man lol... because it would seem that "fabrication" is a genuine quality of scientists. It's is one thing they do possess and this pattern is an observational "fact"
how bout a big bang? ...anyone???

I am here trying to learn myself... But I find I am quite puzzled by your religion.
How can Buddhism be non-theistic when they have at least 18 gods/deities and is classified as polytheistic?

Buddhism does not teach there there was/is a creator-god, and the various deities that many Buddhists tend to believe exist are really not much consequential, nor are they permanent nor unchanging.

I don't know about the picture, but the Buddhist belief is that the Buddha was a human who did what humans do. He was not a deity in any way.ok... im still confused because I am looking at a picture of Buddha coming down out of "heaven"
but hey man whatever floats their boat... I'm just not a pacifist.
Let me recommend this website: BuddhaNet - Worldwide Buddhist Information and Education Network

pic is from a Wiki article... Buddhism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
that of course lays claim as non-theistic, unfortunately anyone who can add 1+1 is reading it differently.
I'm cool with Buddhists, they seem peaceful...? (even with their hint of idolatry)

BTW, that monk who burned himself, which generally would be opposed by dharma (Buddhist teachings), may have saved many lives. I remember the incident all too well, but I also remember the consequences of it helping to bring the Vietnam conflict to an end.

my apology... that was the wrong link.
"The Buddha said that devas (translated as "gods") do exist,"
In fact, the Buddha is often portrayed as a teacher of the gods,[4] and superior to them.

the picture being painted isn't artwork...
ps; do alot of monks burn themselves? cause it's weird man! freaking me out a little bit...

"Was the Buddha a god?
No, he was not. He did not claim that he was a god, the child of a god or even the messenger from a god. He was a man who perfected himself and taught that if we follow his example, we could perfect ourselves also." -- Was the Buddha a god?

We don't believe in them
That is an oversimplification, of course, but basically true.

it's all good bro... plenty a man went and made themselves god. Which there is a scientific term of some kind of complex which describes, it just will not come to me at the moment.
just to let you know though we are here or you and there are plenty of people in the world who care and love others regardless... so just talk to someone if you feel the need to immolate.
Humans are all-primate. If you are referring to Australopithecus or the like, then it's because they are extinct. The vast majority of species are.
Not humans according to who? They were closely related enough to us to produce fertile offspring. In some circles, that'd make us the same species (but different subspecies).
Who said that the Piltdown Man hoax was created by scientists? Are you implying that all of the fossils of human ancestors are a result of hoaxing by the scientific establishment? That would require quite a conspiracy in order to keep that fact hidden from the public.
What about it?
